Meet Chad Gillies, a devoted family man and spiritual explorer on a mission to reclaim mental health. A true psychonaut and ice bather, Chad is all about getting his hands in the dirt and doing the "dirty work" of personal transformation.

In this episode, Chad shares his powerful story of how ayahuasca transformed his life, taking him from a state of depression and questionable choices to becoming a successful businessman. Chad’s journey with this plant medicine began over a decade ago, with healing ceremonies in Costa Rica that cured his depression. He now advocates for its potential to help others, including his daughter, who overcame addiction, and his partner, who found freedom from prescription drugs.

However, Chad's advocacy hasn't come without challenges. Currently facing legal persecution for allegedly bringing ayahuasca into the country, Chad discusses the implications of plant medicine in healing mental health and why he believes it’s a potential solution to the opioid crisis.

Join us for a profound conversation with Chad as we navigate the complex intersection of mental health, spirituality, and the pursuit of alternative healing.
